You sure you didn't watch a video on cell phone copper? Sorry, bad joke

this vid the guy claims to have recovered 5.8 grams of gold from 2 cell phones and 2 sim cards!! What the ... ?!?! if thats the case I'm going cell phone collecting this weekend!

(unfortunately I could not hear what he was saying as I was at work..)

he might have got .02 grams from two cell phones, its better to sell the phones at boardsort .com i think they pay 6.00 a lb for cell phones.

You're better off getting the old computers (use the old ones because they plated them heavily in the beginning). Cut out anything that looks gold on the boards (pins, the huge chip in the center of the board holds the most), then collect this for a bit. I did 8 computers and decided I didn't want to hassle with the dangerous process of smelting the gold off the pins (acids and SO2 gas). Ended up selling my baggie of pins on ebay before the price of gold went up for about $45 bucks.
If you considered the amount of time I put in taking apart 8 computers and getting rid of all the extra stuff, it was a complete waste of time.
But.... I did learn alot about how computers are put together.
